METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED PROBE |
摘要 |
<p>A thermal energy controller system useful in medical procedures includes a controller coupled to a probe, and a thermal element to vary probe temperature. The controller includes memory storing a non-continuous algorithm that permits user-selectable settings for various probe types such that controller operation is self-modifying in response to the selected probe setting. Probe output power Pout is constant in one mode to rapidly enable probe temperature to come within' a threshold of a target temperature. The controller can then vary Pout dynamically using a proportional-integralderivative (PID) algorithm Pout = Kp.P + Ki.l + Kd.D, where feedback loop coefficients Kp, Ki, Kd can vary dynamically depending upon magnitude of an error function e(t) representing the difference between a user-set desired target temperature and sensed probe temperature. Advantageously, target temperature can be rapidly attained without overshoot, allowing the probe system to be especially effective in arthroscopic tissue treatment.</p> |
